I know it&#39;s nature but it truly disturbed me. Squirrels can be fierce when protecting one of their own and I&#39;ve seen that as well.<br /><br />Here in SF we have hawks all over the city and it does bother me. I don&#39;t like being near them unless of course I&#39;m photographing one in a tree. Your shots by the way are great.Poetic Shutterbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856998108256408734noreply@blogger.com
